The bead-blasted knives that stained or rusted (slightly spotted)were the:
EDI Genesis I
MOD Trident
Benchmade Stryker
Maybe this will help with the analysis of the steel, hardness and peening method.
Damn, I sure learn alot here.
BTW, why won't my Spyderco Mini-Police neclace rust ? It lives in probably the most hostile environment I can produce (perspiration,showers,soap and neglect).

Bill,
Getting off the blast thing a bit..... I know two people that must have acid in there veins!!!! I work as a machinist and one of the guys I work with rusts everything he touches!!! Anything metal his hands come in contact with, rusts, almost instantly!!! It has gotten to the point where no one will let him touch their tools and he has to wipe everything in the inspection room down with oil before he leaves!!!! I also have a customer that returns his knives every so often to have rusty fingerprints removed from his knives!!! I've never seen anything like either one of them!!! Have you ever experieced anything like this?????

Dr. Lathe,
I rusted those knives in my pocket as a product of the heat and humidity here in Oklahoma. Lynn's right. This is a good place to sweat
Knives that live in the SAME environment that have NOT rusted are:
Boker/Klotzli. 440C Satin
VBM-UDT. 440C Bead Blasted
All Reeves Folders. BG-42 Stonewashed
REKAT Pioneer. ATS-34 Stonewashed
REKAT Carnivour. ATS-34 Stonewashed
JB Cheyenne. ATS-34 Satin (?)
Benchmade Auto Spike. ATS-34 Satin
Benchmade Leopard Cub. ATS-34 Satin
Spyderco Gragonfly. AUS-8 Satin
Spyderco Tim Wegner JR. ATS-34 Satin.
"Toxic Sweat Test" ?
